Causes of severe ringing in the left and right ear

1 Migraine and heart or vessel problems

Why does it sometimes ring in the ear? The causes of the ailment are conventionally divided into consequences of illnesses and other irritants. Ringing in the ears signals about possible malfunctions in the body, about the presence of pathologies. For example, migraines occur in any part of the head and are accompanied by tinnitus. This pathology is often diagnosed in women. The pain is of a pulsating nature, it often encircles one part of the head.

Hypertensive crisis is accompanied not only by noise, but also unpleasant or painful sensations in the chest, headache, "flies" before the eyes. With a sudden increase in pressure, noise or ringing in the ears and headache occur. These are the main symptoms of a hypertensive crisis. Therefore, a necessary measure to get rid of this condition is the treatment of the cardiovascular system, regular measurement of pressure.

Many people do not know what to do if there is noise in the ears and they begin to dig in with any ear drops that came to hand. This can not be done. First we need to find out the reason that provoked such manifestations. Noise, ringing, hum in the ear canals indicate the presence of atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels. With time, the vessels lose elasticity, they cease to pulsate in time to the circulation. Therefore, noise or ringing in the ears is accompanied by a pulsation.

2 Diseases of the ears, accompanying noise

With some ailments of the hearing organs, noise effects appear. One of these ailments is otitis. If it develops, its characteristic symptoms are ringing in the ears, secretions from the ear of a different nature, severe pains, redness of the external auditory canal, itching. Such complications are formed after the transferred infectious diseases, after getting into an auditory pass of an extraneous object or substance due to inaccurate hygienic procedures, in which the tympanic membrane is injured.

Another cause of similar symptoms is otosclerosis. This is a chronic illness. Characterized by the proliferation of bone tissue in those areas in which the inner ear is connected with the middle ear. Such a disease appears in one ear, then goes over to another. It is typical for him that a person constantly rings in his ears. The reasons for this phenomenon are not yet fully understood, but it is noticed that women often appear in women. Treatment consists in an operative intervention, if to the sick ear to not undertake any measures, the hearing weakens or at all disappears.

The cause of extraneous sounds sometimes becomes neurinoma - a neoplasm in the auditory nerve.

At the same time, the tumor does not manifest itself for a long time, a person does not even know about the presence of such a pathology. Painful sensations and other signs appear already to the extent that the tumor begins to squeeze the nerve endings that surround the hearing aid. Typical symptoms of such a disease are:

• ringing in the ears;
• hearing loss;
• frequent dizziness;
• a feeling of tingling or "crawling" in the face;
• violation of coordination of movements.

If treatment is not performed in time, a person risks becoming completely deaf, so any suspicions or doubts require specialist advice. Treatment will depend directly on whether the diagnosis is so accurately established and the cause of this condition is clarified.

3 Other causes of the disease

In old age, such a symptom is accompanied by multiple sclerosis. This ailment is serious enough, it is characterized by the defeat of the nervous system, while not only ringing or noise in the ears, but also dizziness, "goose bumps" in the skin, impaired motor function, enuresis.

In the presence of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, for example, with osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, there may also be extraneous sounds in the auditory organ. Other diseases in which such a symptom appears are:

1. Anemia.
2. Diseases of Ménière.
3. Diabetes mellitus.
4. Changes in the pathological nature of the temporomandibular joint.
5. Pathological processes in vessels or capillaries.
6. Presbyacusion is a change in the hearing aid that occurs with age.

Such ailments can be accompanied by uncomfortable sensations in the organs of hearing or by extraneous sounds.

Other provoking factors of such problems are: the use of certain ototoxic or unfavorable for the auditory organ medications( streptomycin, gentamicin).In this case, you should contact your doctor to replace this drug with another. Another irritant is water in the auricle or foreign objects. To remove water, you should jump on one leg, which will be on the opposite side of the diseased ear, while tilting the head sideways from the side of the diseased ear. If a foreign object has entered the ear, do not try to extract it yourself. Inaccurate actions can be fraught with even more insertion of the object into the ear, traumatizing the tympanic membrane and as a result of a decrease in hearing.

A sudden change in climatic conditions is also provoking factors. A jump in the arterial pressure is observed. Other causes of noise:

• toxic effects of corrosive substances on the human body;
• some sports;
• frequent stress;
• chronic fatigue;
• penetration into the ear passage of an insect;
• barotrauma( can be the result of an airplane flight, a parachute jump, diving);
• long listening to loud music in headphones;
• continued exposure to loud sounds( production noise);
• large sulfur tube;
• head injury.

Regardless of the reasons recommended to visit the otolaryngologist, so as not to miss more serious pathological processes. In this case, it is necessary to treat not the sound itself, but a disease that provoked such a condition.

4 Extraneous sounds in the left and right ear

Regular ringing in the left ear becomes a signal that otitis media develop, otosclerosis, the Eustachian tube is closed, a large amount of sulfur in the ear canal is accumulated.

When ringing in the left ear, this may be due to weather changes. Another reason may be the development of hypertension. Such an effect can be caused by fluctuations in the level of hemoglobin in the blood. Often such symptoms are preceded by such abnormalities as anemia, fatigue, inactivity. Often ringing in the ears is provoked by osteochondrosis of the cervical spine.

If ringing in the right ear, the causes may be similar to ringing on the left. They are supplemented with loud sounds, complications after the catarrhal diseases, pathological processes in the inner ear, hypertension, development of the neoplasm, sulfur plug, foreign body.

5 What to do if

is a problem You should contact a specialist immediately if symptoms such as noise or ringing in your ears do not appear for a long time;noise in the head, pain in the chest, headache, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, impaired coordination of motor activity.

To determine the exact root cause of unpleasant sensations, the otolaryngologist will recommend that the examination be performed by other narrow specialists. The survey uses a method such as audiometry, during which an assessment of the severity of the hearing and other indicators that affect the hearing. With the help of certain tools, the external ear canals are inspected for obstruction, in order to exclude the development of otitis media or for the presence of neoplasms. Treatment consists in removing foreign objects that could have accidentally entered the ear canal( sometimes a person may not even know about it), the sulfur plug is removed. If necessary, a computer or magnetic resonance examination is assigned to help determine neoplasms of the auditory nerves or brain, which in turn can trigger the occurrence of sounds in the earpiece.

Obligatory consultation with a neurologist is indicated in case of any suspicion of education in the brain or the prerequisites for multiple sclerosis. Thus, noise can accompany more serious diseases. Treatment is carried out only after identifying the cause of the problem. If Ménière's disease is diagnosed, the doctor prescribes a diet, medication, which will help to eliminate symptoms. If treatment is ineffective, surgery is indicated.

If a neurinoma is detected, the patient may need to undergo radiation or laser therapy or surgery. The tumor requires constant monitoring by a specialist. If otosclerosis is diagnosed, competent treatment is prescribed. If therapy is ineffective, osteoporosis is sometimes resorted to. So it's possible to keep hearing. In some cases, after removing the cause of the ailment, a hearing aid is assigned.

If such a state is provoked by loud sounds, often unpleasant feelings pass by themselves after a while. If the professional activity of a person is connected with noisy industries, you should use special devices - earplugs or protective headphones - during work. Ears should be protected from strong and loud sounds, regularly and accurately perform hygienic procedures for their purification, regulate blood sugar and cholesterol level, monitor blood pressure.
